the sill, 12 the vertical side Vtraine members and 13 the top bar of an ordinarywindow,

casing. 14 (Fig. 6) designa-tes' the usual pulley stiles forming the inner walls ofthe hollow side frame members 12 ofthe casing,Y`

within which latter the sash piilleys,wveights and cords are usuallyr accommodated.Y In` my present construction the sash counterbal-V ances areemployed only on one side, since ythe sash are designed and adapted to 'swing inwardly from the opposite side.

To the inner faces of the pulley stiles 1 4 are attached the usual back strips 15 land parting strips 16 which form guidewaysV for 'the upper sash 17. VTo the pulley stile 14 at the left, viewing Figs. 1 and 6,7 is also at :tached a front stopv 18, themating front stop on the other side being hinged to swing in; wardly and more particularly hereinafter described. and 19 designates the lower sash.

Tov and extending full length of the sash guideway 'formed by the left hand'pulley stile l4and strips l5 and 16 is attached a sheet'metal channel strip v21, and to the siniilar guideway formed by thepulley stile 14 and thestrips 16 and 1S at the left is attached a similar sheet. metal channel 'strip- V22. `-4 anduconstitute slideways for slides that 'are These strips are clearlv'shown in F ig.

hinged tothe upper and lower ends of the lefthandgsides oi" theupper and' lower 'sash re-` As shown in Figs'. land,` the pulley stile 14 'at the left is slotted` at .23, and the chan,-

nel guide strips 21 and 22 are formed vwith registeringslots 24 to accommodate theV sash cords 25 vandV their pulleys 26, which latter arey journaled in biackets 27 mounted on the ,inner wall of the vertical frame member 12, and 28 Adesignates the usual counter- Weights. Slidably engaged with the channel strips21 and 22.7and at their longitudinal edges underlyingthe' inwardly turned flanges of said channel strips, are upper and lower slides 29 and 31, respectively, one pair pertaining to the, upper sash 17 and the other to the lower sash 19. Each slide 29 at its upper -end is formed with an integral horizontally bent extension 32 of 'sector shape as sho'wnby dotted lines in FiggG, and each slide 31 is 'formed at its lower end with Va similar horizontalextension'33.' The eX- tensions 32 and 33 constitute onejinember of a sash hinge, the other memherfo'twhich consists ofV angle strips 34'and 35 that Vare connected to the fixed members 32 and 33 by `pivot pins 36 Y and 37 respectively.V The hinge members 34 and 35 are secured to the upper frame bars-.ofthe sash by screws 34' as indicated in Figs. 1 and 8. As shown in Figs. 6l and 8, the hinge pivotsr36 and 37 are Ylocatedjust inwardly oi therplanes of the innerfsidesof the sash so as to enable the latter, when swinging inwardly, to' readily clear their vertical guideways ;V and as will be 22, while lits other limh, ywhich .is preierabl groove. or rabbet 'in the outer observed troml Fig. 6 thehinge'pivots ot one sash (the upper) are set Yfurther inwardly toward the center or" the sash than are the vpivots of the other,whereby it is possible to swing both'sash inwardly to positions noi'- mal or at right angles to the plane ofthe window opening, as shown by dot-ted lines in Fig. 6. The fixed hinge leaves 32 are` Y slotted, as shown at 32 in Fig. 6to allow'V7 Y for the passageof the sash cords-25 therethrough. For greater stiifness 'and rigidity,

the horizontal limbsoi the hinge members 34 and 35 are folded back over andfunder the stationary hinge limbs 32 'and'33gand by giving the rear edge of the latter theiounded or convex margins shown in `Fig.l6, `the Vinner folded edges of the swinging hinge members 34 and 375 are enabled to slide over',

thecurved edges of the stationary hinge meinbers.`

By making each slide of eachV pair of slides 29 and 31 independentof the other and cooperative slide of that pair, the slides canV be constructed tov be substantially universally applicable to windows of various heights. Thus few different slides need be manufactured and kept on hand for .win-

dows of different heights. The hinge ai'- rangement and ,construction will be substanl-tially the same in every case. These teatures will be obvious l yfrom an inspection iol the drawing.`V

Y The lowerslide member 31 inthe caseo'f I each sash is cut or slotted adiacent its upper end and aportion outwardly pressed to form a loop or bail 38 to whichrthe lower `end of the sash cord 25'is attached; andfthc lower end of theupper slide 29 in the case fof each sash is formed Ywith a similar verse loop or bail 39, behind which the cord 25 extends.V Bvreference to Fig. 7 it will be observed that the vertical outer edge of each sash is recessed or countersunk'to seat the loops or yhails 33 and 39. l Y

invention also preferably employs a n ovel weather strip feature that isVV asso ciated with the channel guidesr21 and 22 and the slides 29 and 30. rThis feature'isY perhaps mostA clearly shownl in the Vcrosssectional view Fig. 7, wherein 41 desigi'iates the weather strip 0i' angle form. @ne-limb of this angle strip slidiiigly underlies thethe rising and lowering movements of the sash, but they are'y held against following the edges of. the sash' duringthe swinging le@Y registering with a corresponding 'longitudimovements of the latter by Vmeans of pair :of hooks 42 and 43, which are soldered alt their lbasesto thefslid-es 29 and 'Y 3l and Aembrace the `inwardly f projecting limbs i of nal groove L14 (Fig. G) inthe contacting edge of the sash.A This Weather strip, ofy

course, extends "only the length .of the upper sash1 so that `vhenthe lat-ter is fullylowered,v

its free edge is' disengaged from the rWeather strip and Vmay readily swing inwardly.

To 'furtherv permit this in'vvardsvvinging finovement of the loivereduppe-r sash,'the Alower half of theparting strip 16 is beveled "to enable the free edge' ofthesa'sh lying ltherebehind to clear thesameQ:

The .free edgev lof the lower 'sash' 19Y is preferably equipped 'with an improved com bination stop and weather strip, the' struc-v ture of which isbest shown inpligs. 6,7 andf9. This comprises a molding strip l5 d preferably of quadrant form in cross-'seclowering the lower swing inwardly.

'the leaves of the hinges are horizontal andv tion that ishinge'd at the inner frontL corner `o'f ythe stile bar la as by ordinary upper and lower hinges 46, andhas attached to its rear` face a flat metal Weather strip` 47 Vtg-zrininating inraninvvardly turned folded tongue 4:8 that registers With?y a corresponding r-alobet 49 in the freel edge of theflower sash. vThis Y hinged stop and weather' strip, of course,

extends only the full height of thel lower sash; and to swing'the'latter inwardly it is first raised to clear'the tongue'Y 481ofthe Weather strip, Vthe stop andvveather lstrip' are then swung outwardly tothe dotted line position shown in Fig. 6, and by then fully sash the'latter is free to The described mannerjof, and means for,
